Özet

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide that can widely be used in agricultural and non-agricultural fields. Glyphosate isopropylamine affects the inhibition of the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, and also that of some enzymes involved in the shikimic acid pathway. The aim of this research was to study the effects of different concentrations of glyphosate isopropylamine (0.5, 1, 2 and 5%) on the mitotic activity in Allium cepa L. root tip cells and the superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POX) activities in Allium cepa L. roots.
